Crow Queen part 2: crows

there have been crows packing at my skin and yelling at me

these stupid crows have followed me around ever since I was little

mother says they're kissing my skin

but she never saw the cuts they leave

I am not a crow princess

they yell unintelligible nonsense at me

"why are you speaking to me like this?" I always plead

no answer.

"what did I do wrong? just leave me. my mind is in ruins." I beg.

no answer.

they are silent and violent as always.

"I am going to remove myself from this wretched earth! just you wait, crows."

"Caw caw. Don't do it! we need to be fed!" they cry

they only want me when I am weak

    I feel like I'm imposing

    Which isn't fair for you to do,

    It's not fair that you make me feel like I'm on the outside

    I hate sitting here, trying to reignite what once was

    I thought we we're doing this anymore

  • unkept (wo)man

    subjugated to solitude eternal,

    only perceiving and watching love,

    maybe receiving it but never understanding it

    never internalizing it

    it bounces off. Doesn't stick,

    unkept and unruly and unclean.
